Hi there i am new to this site my name is schrodes.
I have just completed this mod myself.
I have a 97 TF 2.8,
from wreckers i got a bonnet scoop, intercooler from a jackaroo.
Step 1 : lifted the body only 50mm
Step2 : placed intercooler on top of motor using jackroo mounts.
Step 3 : cut recess hole in bonnett, and then cut underbonnett surports back to the size of the intercooler.
Step 4 : fitted scoop and used the four bolts on scoop to secure it along with sealer.
Step5 : For the extra piping i went to plumbers supplier and got 45 and 90 degree copper pipe bends along with a staight lenght i think they are 50mm.
Step 6 : using existing pipes and ones from jackaroo and the copper bits was able to join and plumb job.
Has turned out great, marked improvement in power and economy. 10klm per lt per 100klm.
TOTAL COST $400.00 for intercooler, scoop and pipies and snorkel from wreakers
$ 20.00 for copper pipe and fittings.
I hopr that helps, if you need more just ask.
